I try not to associate with "active" racists. By "active" I mean they treat other people certain ways based on the color of their skin. I think everyone is racist at least a little but it is what you do to hurt others that is important to me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they might be bigoted about Republicans, Christians, Jews, etc which I hear a lot more than racism. It's rampant and gets completely free reign. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An admirable quality. 1 hour ago, Sir Wearer of Hats said: Words are harmful in and of themselves, but this fella lost a job based solely on his skin colour. Very true. 42 minutes ago, Michelle said: It's called slander and there is a reason you can sue someone for it. You may not care about your reputation but a lot of us do. Only if you can prove you are not a racist. Do you care about your reputation to people who know you and do business with you or Twitter trolls? I don't disagree with any of you, I think every one of you is right. We don't like left or right trolls calling us names and making harmful insinuations. But, we all better develop a thick skin if the public square goes further along the lines of a free for all. Anybody can say anything they want and most likely get away with it. It could even be a bot. Any neck-bearded troll living in a basement can post something totally untrue without even knowing you. His account might be blocked, but the post has already been made. Will bots pick it up and spread it? Do you think the public discourse will become more fair and kind all by itself? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the13bats Posted November 24, 2022 #2130 Share Posted November 24, 2022 If racist means biased because of skin color then no, i dont think everyone is however i do believe its human nature to have biases that could be some misplaced part of old survivor instincts. For example in my life of work i grew to have ranging biases against certain types for example drunks, the sekf centered ones who only care about themselves and being messed up, those people come in every race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me in most cases racism is mistaken for those who prejudge others based upon lack of understanding, Again, based upon my opinion most people who for whatever reason prejudge do so in most cases because of fear and a lack of understanding. I think where prejudgment and racism can be separated is when someone is exposed to the object of their prejudgment, and over time the prejudgment doesn't disappear at that point I believe that racism is the underlying cause of problem.

I agree with that, and your those individuals who support the White Supremacy movements across America are still living in the past. Because that easy target doesn’t exist anymore, in fact the majority of White America also has no problem telling the White Supremest’s just how ignorant they are. When you look at the White Supremest’s it obvious like you said that their hate is simply based on their own ignorance, failures, and in most cases their lack of any formal education which is the underlying cause of their failures. Unfortunately, those individuals continue to expand their ranks, they do so by contaminating the minds of their children which should be a crime in itself. In all reality destroying a child’s life by feeding them hate and false information should be treated as child abuse. I know it would be a very difficult stretch to prove that parents are intentionally indoctrinating their children. However I sincerely believe that the DOJ, Congress and the Senate should work together and pass new legislation that could allow children to be taken from homes where they are indoctrinated. Will it ever occurred, I doubt it but it should sincerely be attempted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much really. The rules at Twitter haven’t changed for the most part. So far just the loose interpretations, and unequal implementation of those rules have stopped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musk said that he wasn't going to let him back on because he was exploiting children's deaths for profit. That is horrible, but it isn't illegal. To me the only difference is the person who gets to decide who is too horrible to give voice to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
